Appealing Wordles
The website game Wordle was a huge hit earlier this year, with more than two million players across many countries trying to guess its daily word. If it has sparked your interest in word puzzles, there are plenty of brilliant mobile games to test your letter skills on the Android and Apple app stores.
Alphabear: Words Across Time: It is a great example. Each level starts with a grid of letters, from which you make words... and bears! The animals pop up if you use letters that are next to one another, and the bears get bigger as you spell more words. You can also unlock special powers to boost your points and time.
Wordfeud: If you’re a fan of board games you might enjoy! It lets you play Scrabble-style matches against friends. If you’re really keen you can be involved in up to 30 games at once. The game also lets you mix up the board so that its bonus-score tiles appear in different places, to keep you all on your toes.
Letterpress-Word Game: It is also a multi-player game, where you can play against friends or bots (game-controlled players). You have to spell out words to capture sections of the on-screen grid of letters for your colour (red or blue)before your opponent does — so it’s not just about finding one word at a time but also carefully planning your next moves.
SpellTower: It is about strategy, too. It’s a wordsearch game where the letter tiles rise up from the bottom of the screen. You have to reduce the tile as quickly as you can by finding words and beating your own high scores.
Some of these games use in-app purchases to unlock all their puzzles or remove adverts. They are optional — and remember, if you want to spend money, check with an adult first.
21. Which game can enable players to be rewarded with more time
A. Alphabear: Word Across Time. B. Wordfeud.
C. Letterpress-Word Game. D. SpellTower.
22. What do we know about Wordfeud
A. The more words you spell, the bigger the animal is.
B. If you mix up the board, you have the bonus scores.
C. You will be really confident about your next moves.
D. You can beat your own high scores by using strategy.
23. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. All of the games are free of charge
B. Only children can play these games.
C. Young players can remove advertisements without any purchase.
D. Young players should ask adults for permission if spending money.

It was a sunny afternoon in June of 2023 when Anthony Perry stepped off the train at Chicago’s 69th Street station. The 20-year-old, who worked nights in a grocery store, was on his way to see his grandfather so they could go and look at a car Perry was thinking about buying.
On the platform, two men were fighting fiercely. The pair fell over the edge and onto the tracks. One man ended up on his back, starting trembling. The aggressor leaped backward, ran back up onto the platform and disappeared. The man had fallen atop the third rail, the conduit (导电管) for the 600 volts of electricity that powered Chicago’s L trains and trembled terribly as the current went through his body. Without hesitation, Perry ran quickly to the victim. The guy looked dead, his body still shaking, his head hitting against a steel rail.
Perry wondered how he was going to escape the situation he’d just put himself into. Putting his trust in God, Perry reached down and grasped the victim’s wrist. Instantly, he felt a blast of electric shock shoot through his body. Perry jumped back, reached down a second time, and was shocked again.
Perry was no expert, but for a few moments he worked on the man’s heart until the victim became conscious. Doctors and firefighters arrived. So Perry let the professionals take over. His heart still racing from the adrenaline (肾上腺素) and the electric shocks, he climbed back up onto the platform, grabbed his things and continued on to his grandfather’s. As planned, they went to look at the car he wanted to buy, but it had been sold.
The evening news reported the incident, crediting an anonymous hero with saving the victim’s life. After a friend posted his story on the media, Perry became the toast of Chicago. Just days after the incident, a local philanthropist (慈善家) rewarded him with a car. Perry was then recruited by the Chicago Fire Department and is now training.
24. What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us about
A. How scared the victim was. B. How strong-willed Perry was.
C. How cruel the aggressor was. D. How serious the situation was.
25. Which of the following best describes Perry
A, Brave and warm-hearted. B. Adventurous and easy-going.
C. Determined and energetic. D. Generous and cooperative.
26. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To make us advocate heroic deeds.
B. To tell a story about a hero saving a life.
C. To appeal to readers to learn from Perry.
D. To teach people the way to become famous.
27. What do we know about Perry from the passage
A. He was badly injured in the accident.
B. He cared little about his heroic behavior.
C. His grandfather had passed away before he arrived.
D. He had worked for the Chicago Fire Department before.

It’s natural that people want to use the latest innovations to better themselves. Smart devices can truly do incredible things and help to simplify our day. They can also enhance our perceptions, arm us with knowledge, and open up a world of new possibilities. A few people have even decided to make the leap and transform themselves to become cyborgs.
Cyborg is a term used to describe a being that is half human and half machine. This may sound like something out of science-fiction films, but some people have already adopted this lifestyle. One is artist Neil Harbisson. He was born completely color-blind, and could only see black and white images. It seemed that he would never experience colors. After attending a cybernetics (神经机械学) talk in college, he met an inventor who agreed to make a special device for him. They designed an eyeborg, a mechanical eye that converted colors into sound frequencies. This enabled Harbisson to hear colors and perceive the world in a different way. He started going to museums to “hear” classic paintings. In fact, a simple walk down a grocery store filled with colorful products produces some catchy tunes (动听的曲调). Harbisson loves his eyeborg so much that he rarely takes it off. He now gives talks urging others to consider adding their own mechanical improvements.
British scientist Kevin Warwick conducted his own experiment in 1998. He implanted a chip inside of his arm, which he used to control lights and other appliances at home. He later expanded the project by placing electrodes inside his nervous system and linking it to the Internet. This allowed him to control external objects including robotic arms and loudspeakers. His work remains influential as this example of extended sensory input was the first of its kind. If you’re interested in becoming a cyborg and you’re willing a good place to start, it might be with a pair of Google Glass. Users wear it like ordinary eyeglasses. Using voice commands you can have it take pictures of what you see, see directions right in front of you, or translate your voice into other languages. Hopefully this experience will help you decide whether becoming a cyborg is right for you, or if you’re content to remain a human like the rest of us.
28. What can we know about the eyeborg from Paragraph 2
A. It is a machine which is half human eye and half machine.
B. It is a device that converts hearings into colors for color-blind.
C. It makes the color-blind perceive colors by hearing sound frequencies.
D. It enables the color-blind to identify colors by creating classic paintings.
29. How is the passage developed
A. By comparison. B. By classification.
C. By giving examples. D. By listing data.
30. What is probably the author’s attitude to the experience of being a cyborg
A. Positive. B. Skeptical.
C. Indifferent. D. Ambiguous.
31. What is the passage mainly about
A. Why do cyborgs make our world colorful
B. Why do many people want to have eyeborgs
C. How does innovative technology improve people’s lives
D. How does technology promote the development of cyborgs
D
The University of Washington and University of California San Diego researchers have found that smartphones are capable of detecting blood oxygen saturation (饱和) levels down to 70 percent — the lowest value pulse oximeters (脉搏血氧仪)should be able to measure.
The proof-of-principle research involved participants placing their fingers over the camera and flash of a smartphone, which uses a deep-learning algorithm (算法) to interpret blood oxygen levels.
“When we delivered a controlled mixture of nitrogen (氮气) and oxygen to six subjects to artificially bring their blood oxygen levels down, the smartphone correctly predicted whether the subjects had low blood oxygen levels 80 percent of the time,” said co-lead author Jason Hoffman of the study published in npj Digital Medicine. “Other smartphone apps that do this were developed by asking people to hold their breath. But people get very uncomfortable and have to breathe after a minute. With our test, we’re able to gather 15 minutes of data from each subject. Our data shows that smartphones could work well.”
Another benefit of measuring blood oxygen levels on smartphones, which almost everyone has, is their ubiquity. “It is common for you to have multiple measurements with your own device at either no cost or low cost,” added co-author Dr. Matthew Thompson.
To gather data to train and test the algorithm, the researchers had each participant wear a standard pulse oximeter on one finger and then place another finger on the same hand over the camera and flash of a smartphone. The researchers used data from the participants to train a deep-learning algorithm to pull out the blood oxygen levels. The remainder of the data was used to confirm the method and then test it to see how well it performed on new subjects. The team hopes to continue this research by testing the algorithm on more people.
32. What did the researchers do concerning the six subjects according to Hoffman
A. They asked them to hold their breath.
B. They lowered their blood oxygen levels.
C. They allowed them to breathe every minute.
D. They collected 15-minute data from them in total.
33. What does the underlined word “ubiquity” in Paragraph 4 probably mean
A. Being unique in shape. B. Being changeable frequently.
C. Being stable in quality. D. Being present in many places.
34. What was each participant required to do during the study
A. Train and test a deep-learning algorithm.
B. Keep an eye on their blood oxygen levels.
C. Wear a regular pulse oximeter on every finger.
D. Put a finger over a smartphone’s camera and flash.
35. What would be the best title for the text
A. Smartphones Can Measure Blood Oxygen Levels
B. Smartphones Can Control Blood Oxygen Levels
C. A Deep-learning Algorithm Can Learn from Pulse Oximeters
D. A Deep-learning Algorithm Can Be Added to Pulse Oximeters

Having ideas in a list is a quick and easy way to get the information you want. Imagine you’re interested in visiting Los Angeles and you just want the basic facts. What would you rather read; a one-page article with the title The Top 10 Things to Do in Los Angeles, or a 200-page book titled Everything You Need to Know About Los Angeles
In an ever more complex world, it’s nice to have something that’s easy!
A. They’re short
B. They’re effective
C. With a list, there’s a clear end in sight
D. So, you only get the most relevant information
E. Everywhere you look these days, there are lists

A typical lion tamer (驯兽师) in people’s mind is an entertainer holding a whip (鞭子) and a chair. The whip get all of the attention, but it’s mostly for show. In reality, it’s the 41 that do the important work. When a lion tamer 42 a chair in front of the lion’s face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus 43 , the lion becomes confused and is 44 about what to do next. The lion chooses to 45 and wait, when faced with so many options, 46 attacking the man holding the chair.
How often do you 47 yourself in the same position as the lion How often do you have something you want to 48 — only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress
This 49 me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which 50 is best, the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we’re focused on the 51 things or that we feel like we can’t focus, 52 we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be 53 .
It doesn’t have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face 54 this: All you need to do is focus on one thing. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel 55 is one of the habits of successful people.

Moro sat down at the kitchen table and looked at the awards dinner invitation as though she had received bad news from far away. “Baby, it might be a mistake. Sometimes they accidentally send these things out to the wrong people.” She spoke slowly and with sympathy in her voice. I was only in the first grade; I didn’t understand the big deal and didn’t really care about a mistake.
I was embarrassed by the process of learning. On the first day of school my mom talked to my teacher for a long time while I sat at one of the little tables and met people who would be my friends for years, including Katie. I was so absorbed in my friend-making that I did not care what my mom was saying to my new teacher, and I certainly could not have known that she was expressing her concern about me possibly having a learning disability.
My academic progress was never a topic of conversation. I did not know anything about grades or scholarly competition. I didn’t care. I just liked my beautiful teachers. I loved my friends. I enjoyed doing all the worksheets and activities. My grades did not mean anything to me.
At the awards dinner, we sat by my best friend Katie and her family. She and I talked and laughed all through the meal. But Mom looked like she was still expecting bad news. She reached across the table and held my hand right before the principal started handing out awards. “Remember, sweetie, we’re just here to enjoy the dinner.”
The awards were given out by subject. Within each subject, the grade winners were announced and received a certificate. Math. No Rebecca. Science. No Rebecca. Reading. Katie got that one. She smiled broadly. I caught my mom’s face. She was near tears. She looked at me as if A were hurt. But I was fine. She was the one who was hurt, watching all the other children gel awards while her own was passed over again and again.
注意；1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
All the subject awards were given out, and my name was not called.

The School Sports Meeting
The sports meeting, an annual event in the school, was held in the field last week.
Around 1500 participants from three grades took part in the event. There were a great number of interesting as well as meaningful activities such as ball games and running, to name a few. Every participant spared their effort to fight for their honor.
The sports meeting turned out to be a great success. Not only did it help students keep fit, but it also tested their will and strengthened team spirit.

All the subject awards were given out, and my name was not called. “Oh, Rebecca, I’m so sorry. But remember, it’s okay. We had fun anyway, right ” My mother patted my shoulder, wearing a smile on her face, but I could tell she was not having fun and afraid I was sad about not getting an award. The overall achievement medals were given out last. Mom whispered over to me while they were calling out names from other grades. “Let’s go to get some ice cream and forget this whole thing, sweetheart,” mom said.
A few seconds later, “Okay, the overall achievement medal for the first grade — Rebecca Youngblood. “I barely heard my name because I was thinking about ice cream. With excitement and delight, my mom signaled me to go and get the award. When I returned with my medal signifying I had done better than other first-graders at my school that year, not just a certificate, still not completely understanding its significance, I asked, “Can I still have ice cream ” “Of course, baby.” My mom was crying and laughing at the same time.

第三部分 语言运用
第一节
【语篇导读】本文通过驯兽师训练狮子的例子，来告诉人们：我们很多时候做事情也是犹豫不决，踌躇不定，应该抛开所有迷惑信息，想到什么，开始行动才是重点。
41. A 考查上下文理解。根据上下文信息可知，鞭子吸引了注意力，但主要是为了表演效果。实际上，表演里真正起重要作用的是椅子。
42. C 考查上下文理解。根据下文的原词复现，“holds a chair”意为拿着椅子。
43. D 考查过去分词辨析。根据“...the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time”，可知狮子注意力分散。
44. B 考查形容词辨析。根据“...confused”可知，狮子很困惑，不确定下一步要做什么。
45. B 考查上下文文意。根据前文“...is 44 （unsure） about what to do next”可知，狮子僵在那儿。
46. A 考查短语辨析。根据文意可知指狮子僵在那儿，而不是攻击拿椅子的人。 instead of 意为“而不是”； except for 意为“除了”； other than 意为“除了”； out of 意为“出于……”。
47. D 考查上下文文意。意为“你有多少次发现自己也和狮子处于一样的情况中”。
48. A 考查动词词义辨析。意为“你有多少次有自己要实现的事情”。
49. C 考查动词辨析。根据后文“while all the experts are busy debating”，可知要选负面意义的词，再结合上下文，选 upsets 表示“让人沮丧的”。
50. A 考查名词辨析。根据上下文文意和上文原词复现“all of the options”，所以选 option。
51. C 考查形容词辨析和上下文文意。意为“我们聚焦在错误的事情上，或者没有办法集中注意力”。
52. B 考查逻辑关系。根据上下文意思“我们聚焦在错误的事情上，或者没有办法集中注意力，所以才不采取行动”。
53. D 考查上下文文意和动词辨析。此处意为“我们本来可以有所提升而实则维持原样”。
54. A 考查上下文文意和动词辨析。根据下文的“All you need to do is focus on one thing”，说明这里是一种建议，“请大家记住……”，所以选 remember。
55. C 考查上下文文意和形容词辨析。根据上文的“You just need to get started”，所以在准备好（ready）前就采取行动。
第二节
56. advertised 考查非谓语动词。设空处为过去分词作定语，修饰名词“drink”，与“drink”有逻辑上的动宾关系。（be） advertised as…意为“被宣传为……”。
57. curiosity 考查词性转换。 设空处作“arouse”的宾语， 应用名词。 arouse curiosity 意为“引起好奇心”。

59. definitely 考查词性转换。设空处修饰后面的动词“wanted”，故应用副词形式。
60. to try 考查非谓语动词。设空处考查动词不定式在句型“主+be+ adj. +to do”中的用法。

62. than 考查介词。设空处与前面“more”连用， more than 意为“超过，多于”。
63. has teamed 考查动词的时态。在句型“It is the first time that...”中，从句部分应用现在完成时。
